We are very excited to bring to you two industry experts, Dr. Stephanie Burns, and CCIE Keith Barker. In this live webinar, they share best practices on how to manage and complete your learning goals without giving up your life. Dr. Burns will spend time discussing her findings and best practices with learning to learn while Keith will speak to how the principles can be applied to Cisco Certifications. These energetic presenters will also share personal stories and answer questions from the community!

Trust us, we have been in the prep sessions! You don't want to miss the passion and enjoyment with which these two well known experts share their knowledge and experience. Should be a lot of fun!

And there's more . . . Because we know not every question can be answered during a webinar, both Stephanie and Keith will be answering questions on the associated discussion thread from March 16-March 21, 2012.

Who Are Our Presenters:

Stephanie Burns PhD in Adult Education

For the past 25 years, Stephanie built a global reputation as one of the leaders in adult learning. With over 100,000 people having attended her Learning To Learn program, and over 2000 her Training to Train program, Stephanie has authored 3 industry bestselling books “Great Lies We Live By”, “Artistry in Training” and “Move Closer Stay Longer”, completed her PhD with the University of South Australia focusing on the role of emotion in the learning process, and spent 10 years developing and running a series of successful online learning programs.

In addition, Stephanie has been her own avid guinea pig for her research. She has applied the findings of her study to learn a host of skills and taught others to do the same. Stephanie has the academic rigour, practical experience and a reputation second to none.

Keith Barker has earned two CCIEs so far and is thinking about a embarking on a third. He earned the first CCIE in 2001 and cites this accomplishment as probably the biggest catalyst in his work today as a network engineer and a trainer with authorized Cisco learning partner, Copper River Information Technology, LLC.

Keith’s passion for technology and teaching is evident in his contributions to the Cisco Learning Network! Besides responding directly to a wide variety of posts in discussion forums, he has created a legacy of video tutorials that focus on key networking technology topics and answer questions posed by community members. His YouTube

channel—“Keith6783”—which he created back in 2010 just for that purpose of supporting this community now offers as

many as 75 videos and has gotten more than 500,000 views. “I have been blown away by the response,” he notes. The community knows a good thing when it finds it!
